I am using FR3 in my 2015 Mazda 3 2.0L. I'm something of a hyper-miler and I believe it gave me just under 2% increase in peak fuel economy on the highway. I also did a Blackstone UOA and had a nice, clean report ... but not necessarily any improvement over past reports for the same car/engine. However, Lake Speed had a video on this stuff and said the formulation does not play will with high ester oils like Amsoil and Red Line Oil. So, I won't be getting it again once it's gone.
@Scavenger1320 Күн бұрын
You're the second person to bring up Lake Speed, I'm going to need to find that vid. I think I remember watching another vid too, (maybe it was him??) that talked about how it can take away or dilute some of the properties of the oil and it makes sense. Either way, I don't plan on using any oil additives anymore either.

Another way to lose weight, expensive, but works... replace steel bolts with titanium and aluminum. I did my 911 turbo... lug studs and half shaft bolts, fender bolts. Use titanium on anything rotating like pump pulley bolts, crank pulley. Titanium is about 40% lighter, and doesn't rust. Valve cover bolts, bolts in the doors, shifter, nuts, too. The 4 bolts for the seat, change to titanium. All of it adds up. Unfortunately, it isn't cheap, lugs and castle nuts for shafts is rotational weight and is worth it, in my opinion. The only bolts I wouldn't use titanium on, head, main, flex plate, and rod. Any rotational weight savings is worth it, my opinion.
@Scavenger1320 Күн бұрын
Titanium lugs are definitely on my list. I didn't really think about other bolts and hardware but that's a good idea. I might have to look into some of those and see how pricey it might be. Could be something I just replace a few at a time. My Kirkey seat would probably be a good place to start since I just used generic steel hardware to mount it. Thanks for the tip!

My procedure for a .500 pro tree when reaction time matters is once I'm prestaged and the other guy is prestaged, I raise the rpms up to around 22-2300 and slowly bump in to get staged, once the staged light comes on I'll bump in a little bit further, but stay just short of going full deep. Then just slam the pedals as soon as I see even a hint of amber coming on. I get pretty good reaction times that way usually in the mid .0xx with my best ever being a .001

@Scavenger1320 7 күн бұрын
Short trips like that and that size boat I honestly wouldn't hesitate at all in towing it with my 2017. Weight looks to be in limits, plus a boat is a lot more aerodynamic than a huge RV trailer so the truck won't be working as hard to keep it moving. I tow my car to races a lot on an open trailer and even though the weights are pretty close to my RV, I get way better mileage just because of how much more aerodynamic my car is behind my truck than the RV. The only concern I would have is the tongue weight. With my RV I have to use a weight distribution hitch. When I'm towing my car I can get by without one and my truck doesn't squat that much.

Issue with bolt extraction from manifolds specifically....is what you ran into with bending and metal stress. These bolts get a ton of heat stress and expansion. The studs on the heat shield bolts break because they are of a poor design. Replacements have the same flaw. They tend to fracture at the taper, which is probably the best place...this avoiding the drill and tap.....but when the head snaps do not use vise grips to twist. Get a few nuts on the stub and pull it out like a stud. If the stub is too short.....you may need to wig-weld a net to it and then back it out. protecting the block is they key. Mopar really shit the bed when it came to these bolts.

Another option that I found out about after I did this vid, especially if you only needed one, is a manifold kit made by BD Diesel. The manifold itself is basically the same design, but they modified the bolts and separated the heat shield bolts so that they won't snap as easily.

AAD makes some lighter suspension components that are really nice but also really expensive. I have a full 'weight reduction' playlist with everything I have including a lightweight battery and bumper supports. It also depends on what items you're comfortable with. 'Rugs' don't make a car streetable, things like that are a luxury item. I drive my car fully gutted the way you see here out on the street all the time. The only difference is I put on my street wheels (that still have drag radials btw) and I do put my rear view and driver side mirror back on, but those take me less than a minute to do.

Even with fender liners in place there is all sorts of water getting splashed into the engine bay on pretty much any vehicle.

The only way anything will get flooded is if you drive into several feet deep of water, and if you find yourself in that position, plastic liners in the fender aren't going to stop anything lol.

Dodge needs to stop cheaping out and doing bad designs for their own sake other than that shit and worser engineering (I prefer older ram hemi engineering waaaay better than the newer bullshit) the vehicles are nice. Sadly the great 5.7 is cheaply built. A large majority of rams have lifter ticks as they gain miles and especially EXHAUST MANIFOLD ISSUES ughhh I bought a ram sport they needed manifolds badly. It was irritating I almost didn’t want to drive it. Nothing wrong with the truck mechanically people told me it had rod knock it sounded that bad. I kept telling them NO the motor is mechanically sound not even 100k miles yet. The exhaust manifolds were shot heat shields dangling, broken bolts. Pieces of shit. I prefer the older original 5.7 hemi engineering wise over the modern one. You get more room and the cooling system is simpler. You can see how much coolant is in the flow tank and the windshield wiper reservoir is clear with a fill line!

The good thing about those long road trips though when you're just cruising down a flat highway at a steady speed with the engine purring at about 1600-2200 rpm is that, that is when your engine is happiest.
